InterviewYesterday was Semi-conductor Fundamentals paper and my nus nursing interview.
The paper was alright I guess, knew how to do some questions, of course most of it was still anyhow do.
Time wasn't really enough though, there were a lot of different parts to a question and I spent a lot of time on the first two questions.
Actually wanted to leave early but since already not enough time to finish so I didn't.
In the end had to rush to NUS, was afraid that I will be late.
Finished the paper and rush to meet dear at the bus stop, he waited for me throughout my paper! So sweet!
Was so lucky to be able to get a cab after 5 minutes.
Reach in less than half an hour. Stopped in front of the Cultural Centre.
There was a lot of people dressed in chinese costumes in and in front of the cultural centre.
Reminded me about the time when I went for SYF in primary school.
I think it was the same place, look very much alike.
Was the same too, Chinese Dance.
Anyway, went opposite to the building I was supposed to have my interview at.
Went up the lift, asked the receptionist, she asked me which team I'm in.
Told her I was in Team B she said I was in Team C, she looked at my letter which says Team B as well. She said it changed. -.-
Did some sort of a questionnaire, asked lots of questions about your present life, why you chose nursing and all that kind of stuff.
Met 2 guys and 1 girl, they were all so friendly, sort of intimidated by them, I'm too shy? Hmm.
Anyway, waited around 45 minutes, went into room.
There were 3 interviewers, a caucasian guy and 2 aunties.
The Caucasian was sort of quiet, most of the questions was asked by the two aunties.
When the Caucasian spoke up, didn't understand his question, he got quite a heavy accent.
They kept asking me why I want to change course because nursing is a rather big change from engineering.
Well, I want to explore more possibilities in the biomedical area, maybe because I had enough of engineering already.
They asked about what I did in Polytechnic, it was like they thought I change twice already, I said I used to do EEE in SP, and then EEE in NTU, then now I want to do Nursing in NUS.
One of the auntie said, "You already change twice!? What makes you want to do Nursing then? Wouldn't you want to change if you don't like it again?"
*roll eyes* Its like they don't understand what is the difference between polytechnic and university. My goodness.
I literally had to explained the difference of what I did in Polytechnic was different from University and exactly what I mean when I did Biomedical Computing in Polytechnic.
Shouldn't they understand what are electives?
And obviously I already did research and lots of thinking before I go for the interview right?
If I can get out of engineering, I believe I can take whatever that comes my way by then.
So I guess I didn't fare very well for the interview. So exasperated.
Oh well, let nature takes it course bah. (:
If I can't get in, private won't be a bad choice also?
Jiayou Jiayou!
